Family is not something AJ Cowley has ever known.
At seven years old, AJ has already learnt that adults cannot always be trusted, homes are not always safe, and love can come with conditions.
Tom Tanner never expected becoming a father to be easy. Still grieving the wife with whom he once planned to adopt, he knows he cannot undo what happened to AJ. All he can do is offer him a bedroom, a place at the table, and the promise that nobody in this home will hurt him.
Family does not arrive all at once.
It grows through school mornings and Christmas presents. Through bad dreams, mistakes, new friendships and the fear of being sent away. It appears in the people who stay, the people who come looking, and the ordinary moments that slowly teach AJ he belongs.
Becoming Family is a tender, character-driven novel about adoption, recovery and the quiet ways a frightened child and a grieving man become father and son.
